Radio faillure

:Hi All,

The radio goes out for a split second on my 6 series, and then it comes right back on. It looks like I'm losing current on my car, but only for a split second.
Anyone has experienced this problem or knows what it may be the cause of it?

Thanks in advance,

I had this it sound of pops goes off then comes back on, I did an Idrive reset which helped but never got to the bottom of it, but it was so rare I just ignored or tried to work out if it was in conjunction with something else switching on!!

Tried this many times, did not resolve the problem. Does the same when i am in the phone. Any other solutions? Also, how do i switch the passenger airbag dash light off?

It sounds like the CCC, if a 645 model, needs to be replaced and then coded in.

Thanks. What is ccc? Its a 650 convertible 2006 american spec and code in dubai. How much will this cost?

CCC is the Car Communications Computer. It's the same on 645/650 till '09 when the new CIC was released.

You need a BMW specialist to determine what modules/section needs to be replaced.

Most modules require programing so the car recognizes it.

On a 2006, you have a CID - this is the computer that controls all of the iDrive functions. Here is a BMW factory parts company listing for original equipment http://www.getbmwparts.com/parts/200...w=11&maxRow=10 After you install - Then take the car over to your shop and let them code the new unit. Make sure that they have the optical interface / without it, they can not code. It's about 1.5 hours - the install is 20 minutes but remove your DVD and CD first ... if you can.

Had my CCC replaced last month. I had similar issues with my dash going blank.

If the Nav system & the Radio do this early every morning, I would say you have a bad or weak battery. I saw mine do this for months before I changed the battery. After changing the battery, I have not seen it happen since! I would never suspect a bad battery to do this, but this is a BMW!

I had the battery replaced last year, but I know that the 6 ers are very tough on batteries. Now every time i loose the radio sound the dynamic drive control warning comes on. driving me nuts.

Never had an issue with the battery. Did you go with BMW battery? When was the last time you had the software updated?
